Old version materials with current engine?

Hello! This is probably a dumb question, but how compatible are materials released for older versions of Unreal with newer ones? For example, I see a material pack that looks really nice, but it was for versions 4.16 - 4.27. What are the odds that will work with 5.3?

Very often, older material are compatible with the new versions of the engine.

You can’t always guarantee it, but it’s usually the case.

Thank you! I guess I need to purchase it and test it to find out? Is there any way to return/get a refund if I end up unable to use it?

I don’t think so. It tries to stop your purchasing it. But it is possible.

Well, I guess that will be the risk. Thank you!

I meant to add here, probably not a good idea to go for any pre 5 materials with displacement. As that who area has changed significantly.
